April 2019

Students will learn from real crime scene investigators and get hands-on experience with criminal investigations. Students will be in and out of crime scenes throughout the week learning how to lift prints from all types of surfaces, how to do casting impressions of footprints and/or tire prints, alternate light source applications, crime scene photography, blood spatter analysis, sketching and diagramming of crime scenes, courtroom testimony and more. Camp CSI is structured to highlight the importance of learning how to collaborate…

This course, taught in partnership with the University of Florida and the Humane Society of the United States, will allow student participants to learn techniques for the detection and excavation of animal crime scenes involving surface deposition and burial. Students will attend lectures covering methods for the detection and excavation of a gravesite, as well as mapping techniques for the exhumation of animal remains.

This course will cover a basic introduction to the science of forensic entomology and entomological techniques used in the laboratory. Additionally, collection, preservation, and shipment of insects and arthropods to a qualified forensic entomologist will be covered. A hands-on field component will also be included in which participants will conduct a proper entomological collection from a mock crime scene. Proper collection equipment, educational literature, and insect collections will be available for examination by the participants.

This course, taught in partnership with the University of Florida, will allow each student to participate in the search, excavation, and recovery of entomological, botanical, and anthropological evidence from a staged “crime scene.” Mornings will be spent in topic specific lectures. During afternoon practical sessions, the student will work one scene each day to recover evidence from surface scattered and burial scenes. The workshop will conclude with a student group presentation summarizing the evidence college during the previous workshop days.
